Your California Privacy Rights
Under a provision of California law, a California resident who has
provided personal information to a business with whom he/she has
established a business relationship for personal, family, or
household purposes ("California customer") is entitled to request
information about whether the business has disclosed personal
information to any third parties for the third parties' direct
marketing purposes. Alternatively, the law provides that if the
company has a privacy policy that gives either an opt-out or opt-in
choice for use of your personal information by third parties for
marketing purposes, the company may instead provide you with
information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options.
Because this Site is intended for use on a business-to-business
basis, this provision of California law will not apply, in most
cases, to the information collected. To the extent an California
resident using this Site for personal, family, or household purposes
seeks information covered the law, this Site qualifies for the
alternative option. As stated in our Privacy Policy, users of the
Site may opt-out or opt-in to the use of your personal information
by third parties. Therefore, we are not required to maintain or
disclose a list of the third parties that received your personal
information during the preceding year for marketing purposes. To
prevent disclosure of your personal information for use in direct
marketing by a third party, do not opt-in to such use when you
provide personal information on the Site. Please note that whenever
you opt-in to receive future communications from a third party, your
information will be subject to the third party's privacy policy. If
you later decide that you do not want that third party to use your
information, you will need to contact the third party directly, as
we have no control over how third parties use information. You
should always review the privacy policy of any party that collects
your information to determine how that entity will handle your
information. California residents who utilize this Site for
personal, family, or household purposes may request further
information about our compliance with this law by e-mailing bruce@thekuhngroup.com.
You should put the statement "Your California Privacy Rights" in the
subject field of your email. Please note that we are only required
to respond to one request per customer each year, and we are not
required to respond to requests made by means other than through
this email address.
